A Descriptive Study on Stress and its Impact Among Students

Abstract

In the contemporary educational landscape, stress among students has emerged as a significant concern affecting their overall well-being and academic performance. This descriptive study aims to comprehensively examine the nature of stress experienced by students and its impact on various facets of their lives. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data will be collected from a diverse sample of students through surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions. Quantitative analysis will provide insights into the prevalence and intensity of stressors, while qualitative methods will explore the subjective experiences and coping mechanisms adopted by students. The study will delve into the sources of stress, including academic pressure, social relationships, financial constraints, and personal factors. Additionally, it will investigate the repercussions of stress on students’ mental health, physical health, academic achievement, and overall quality of life. Findings from this research will contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between stress and student well-being, thereby informing the development of targeted interventions and support services within educational institutions to mitigate the reverse effects of stress and foster a conducive learning environment.
